So much of what you said resonated for me. It got me thinking about myself in the months leading up to my sobriety when I was out of control and deluding myself into believing everything was going to be OK and that I would some how find a way to figure everything out.
It's great to reflect though and realise you were unknowingly pouring petrol on your own fire. Every one of these nuggets of knowledge is literally priceless and I think the harder the lesson the more the valuable it is.
You don't have the self awareness you have today without going through such significant adversity and that is something you can teach to your kids and others and give them a head start. They can learn hard lessons from you without having to go through the levels of shit you have.
I say it too much, but this is a massive example of ya don't lose if ya learn!
Man, I loved this one, Benny!

Thanks heaps mate and something told me you might!
And say it more mate. It's all a journey. Not a series of results.
There are nuggets everywhere if you look hard enough...
